Dan “The Man” Haren Fresh Friday Trade Rumors – Yankees front-runners, Cardinals are out

By Allan

We’re about one week away from the trade deadline, and the rumors are pouring in, especially regarding Arizona Diamondback’s Dan Haren.  Here’s the skinny:

Troy E. Renck of The Denver Post says that if the Diamondbacks move haren within the division (such as a trade to the Rockies) they are going to ask for even more than they would from a non-division team.

Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall says, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, that there is “Definitely no clear frontrunner (for Haren). They (Yankees) are involved like others. Nothing imminent”

Ed Price of AOL FanHouse notes that a Yankee official said that nothing “is close” with Arizona.  Price also heard from other sources that Arizona is determined to move Haren before his next start on Tuesday.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports says that the Yankees are “front-runners” for Haren. According to a source close to Rosenthal, the Yankees believe they have the necessary pieces to obtain Haren. The Dbacks are telling teams interested that they are in “advanced negotiations” with one club.

Ed Price of AOL FanHouse says that the Cardinals are out of the Haren race. It seems to confirm that the Yankees are front-runners.

Ed Price of AOL FanHouse says the Cardinals and Yankees are pushing for Haren. A trade is likely in the next few days, but these reports are unconfirmed.

Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated says the Tigers are the favorite to land Haren.

Buster Olney of ESPN says the Dbacks are intent on moving Haren before the deadline. Teams involved are the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports says the Tigers are also on Haren’s no-trade list. Additionally, Haren’s permission would be needed if the Cincinnati Reds or Tampa Bay Rays decided to join the party.

Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic says that the chances of Haren being traded look increasingly more likely. “It would need to be, in our opinion, an A-plus deal,” Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall said. “Ideally, what we would ask for is major-league ready pitching, be it starters and/or bullpen, and prospects.”
